Under Cindy’s pressure, the bodyguards could only open the door.

“You may go now! You might need to help out in the backyard,” Cindy ordered. After the bodyguards left, she quickly rushed inside the room.

“Mom, how are you?” Cindy asked in a worried tone.

Malorie bought her act. She sighed and complained, “Rick has been bewitched by that little witch! He even locked me up because of her!”

Malorie replied, “I’ll talk to Rick now!”

“Don’t…” Cindy hurriedly stopped her. “Shandie’s funeral is more important. It’ll be more appropriate to talk to him after the funeral ends and all the guests leave.”
